Originally purchased from Brumos, this 1965 “C” Cabriolet represents everything that we love about Porsches. The original owner purchased this triple black cabriolet in 1965 and only 2 years later traded it in for a 912. In 1967, Air Force pilot Lynn Anderson was training in nearby Valdosta, Georgia and like so many other Porsche enthusiasts, he just had to own one! Lynn purchased the Cabriolet from Brumos and drove it home to Georgia and then to Arizona, where he finished training. Upon completion of training, he and the Cabriolet were shipped to England, where he would spend the next four years touring Europe. In September of 1969, the Cabriolet was serviced at the Porsche factory in Stuttgart. At that time, the car received engine KD*P*700613 and was fitted with a hardtop for those cold winter days. Returning stateside in 1972, with a growing family, Lynn relegated the Cabriolet as the family’s third car. Between 1980 and 1990, the Paterak Brothers rectified a rusty batter pan, along with a few small spots and repainted the car. They also replaced the carpet, leaving the rest of the interior original. In 1995, the car was shipped to North Carolina and was driven sparingly. We sold the car for Lynn to the next caretaker and wonderful gentleman in 2017. After 50 years under Lynn’s care, the next owner decided to bring the triple black Cabriolet up to the next level with performing comprehensive mechanical service. The owner also decided it was time to have the seats recovered and a new convertible top installed, ensuring that the Cabriolet was ready for duty and ultimate driving enjoyment during it’s time in Napa Valley, California. With comprehensive recent service records and three owners from new, this rare color combination 356C Cabriolet is ready for another great caretaker and driving adventures with a new family.
